He said the engagement is in line with the strategic vision of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, to achieve a 40% reduction in crime in 2025, across the Thirty-Six States and the Federal Capital Territory.
Recently, a disturbing case came to light: a video surfaced showing a minor, clearly under the age of 10, an orphan from Bama Local Government Area, now living on the streets in Bulabulin area of Maiduguri.
The CP emphasized the Nigeria Police Force’s dedication to public service, trust-building, and security.
The murder suspect disclosed this during cross examination before Justice Simon Aboki of the Nasarawa State High Court sitting in Lafia recently.
ASP Nahum Daso, the state command spokesman stated this in a statement on Monday, in Maiduguri.
According to the police, riot has not erupted in any part of the state as Rivers citizens are enjoined to see the report as that of mischief makers sending a false report to incite unrest and spread fear among law-abiding residents.
Acting on credible intelligence, the Command’s tactical team traced the kidnappers to a hideout in a three-bedroom bungalow in Osokwa, Osisioma LGA.
The statement added that the law explicitly states that the Inspector-General of Police is appointed by the President based on the advice of the Police Council, and the Police Service Commission has no role in determining his tenure.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, Josephine Adeh, said the Command has commenced investigation into the case.
SP Adeh further explained that the arrests were the result of intelligence-driven operations carried out at various locations across the FCT.
